Chanteur et
acteur Rock 'n' Roll Anglais né le 17 Février 1936 à Frinton-On-Sea (Essex).
Like the
better-remembered Adam
Faith, John Leyton had a lot of success in Britain in the early '60s with
lugubrious teen idol pop that was only tenuously related to rock & roll. Not
much of a singer, his hits are most notable for Joe Meek's inventive production,
which utilized ghostly female backup Vocals, variable-speed pianos, and swirling
wind effects. Most of Leyton's earliest (and most successful) material was
written by Geoff Goddard, a songwriter who often penned compositions for Meek's
acts; heavy on loner melodrama, it often used pseudo-wild west galloping rhythms
and lyrical themes. "Johnny Remember Me" and "Wild Wind" were huge hits for
Leyton in 1961, and "Son This Is She" and "Lonely City" also made the Top 20
soon afterward. But in 1963, Meek and Goddard's association with Leyton ended;
that circumstance, combined with the British beat boom, cast Leyton adrift
immediately, although he found a lot of acting work in television and film to
keep him busy.
